The vibrant and inclusive St. Perpetua's Women’s Ministry invites
female parishioners and friends of all ages & backgrounds
to laugh, pray, share, and enrich our faith together as a community.
Our 2023 Women's Ministry Leadership Team
Thanks to the dedication of so many women, our ministry is comprised of three robust ministries:
SPIRITUAL
SERVICE
SOCIAL
If you want to grow in your personal faith, be inspired by reflections and scripture, gain valuable insight, engage in meaningful discussions, volunteer within the parish and/or the greater community, and make new friends, we hope you find that one or more of the activities below spark some interest! Everyone is welcome, regardless of faith, parish, experience, etc. Come join us!
Want to stay connected with us on
Join our
“St. P’s Women’s Ministry Social Chat Group”
on What’s App
We are in the process of building a “St. P’s Women’s Ministry Social Chat Group” on What’s App. This free app allows women in our parish who choose to opt in, to securely send and receive messages over wifi, share photos and other docs with each other (e.g. vacation photos), get reminders for upcoming events, plan impromptu gatherings (e.g. “let’s meet for coffee at Peets’”), etc.
Participation in this social chat group is optional and provides an easy way for St. P ladies to communicate with each other and stay connected. If you would like to be added to this group, click this link below and follow the instructions:
If you need assistance or have questions, please contact Gina Ney at [email protected] or (510) 295-8044.

Here are some of the ways the Women’s Ministry is currently serving our parish and surrounding community:
Flowers are an important avenue to honor God
